You could retool a Tesla Model X and drive it around on Mars. But it probably wouldn't end up looking like a Model X. The rover that Mark Watney drove around in the movie based on Andy Weir's great book "The Martian" is much more likely to be what the hacked vehicle would look like

Teslaâ€™s Model X is fast, like, really fast. It might not look it, but the all-electric â€śfamilyâ€ť car that can seat up to seven adults is actually the fastest SUV out there, according to Tesla. It can accelerate from zero to 60 miles per hour in under three seconds, for those who are counting. ...

We've seen a handful of Tesla Model 3Â reviewÂ videos floating around â€” including an excellent hour-long,Â deep diveÂ into the car's features by our friends atÂ Model 3 Owners Club. That said, we just got a chance to conduct an in-depth evaluation ofÂ Model 3 for ourselves. It's a fascinating car, and in our view, will come to dominate the mid-sized sedan segment over the next few years.Â

Around 11,000 Tesla Model X SUVs are being recalled by the electric car maker after it found that a badly fitted cable, connected to the driver's side rear seat, means the seat might not lock in place, and could be pulled forward in the event of a crash.
Any affected vehicles would have been made between October 28 2016 and August 16 2017, though Tesla reckons only about 3% of the thousands of cars being recalled will have the issue. Better safe than sorry though, of course.
Fortunately the fix isn't too difficult, and you can even have a... ...

As Hurricane Irma approaches the "Sunshine State" of Florida, it's a wonder to own a Tesla. Yes, it's the safest car in the world, but, it's also a pleasure to avoid the hours-long gas station lines that are plaguing the residentsÂ of Florida. After all, our "gas" station is right in our garage. And Tesla's Florida supercharger stalls remainÂ open for businessÂ with no wait to plug inÂ â€” at least not yet. But that's not all

Good news for those considering the Model X â€” Tesla recently dropped the price of the 100D by $3,500 and P100D by $5,000. That said, is this the car for you?

It's quicker than most sports cars on the road, yet far more practical and more comfortable. It offers a selection of luxury appointments rarely found on cars not costing well into the six figures an... ...

This week is Cleantech Talkâ€™s Tesla Truck take. Anyone can offer a â€śhot takeâ€ť on current events, and darn near every media outlet did!

In our defense, we were trying to add something to CleanTechnicaâ€™s already-substantive coverage and reflections (e.g., this and this)
